She eventually found out.
This was something he dreaded, yet it happened; she ended up finding out.
He should have been more cautious. If he had known she was at the door, he wouldn't have been so careless.
Chen Xueru felt inexplicably cold, thinking of Zhao Yuning’s tearful face and her previous accusations. It was as if something had bitten into her heart, leaving her at a loss on what to do.
"Shuwen, is the child hers" Chen Xueru asked, her face pale and eyes calm, slowly recovering from shock. She looked at Tang Shuwen; though she had guessed, she still wanted to hear his answer.
Tang Shuwen held her cold hand, "Most likely. Xueru, I'm sorry, but this happened before we were together. I didn't know she was pregnant when I decided to marry you... No, from the moment you and Xiaonian appeared and I knew of your existence, I haven’t been with her… Sorry, I didn’t mean to hurt you. Really, very sorry."
Chen Xueru’s eyes reddened, "No, no, no, there's no need for apologies. This is all my fault, it's all my fault. If I hadn't appeared, you two would have married and had a child; you both would be very happy. I still would be me, raising Xiaonian to adulthood, and our families would both be very happy. No one would pay the price, no one would die. Shuwen, it's my fault that you lost your beloved person and had to cruelly abort your own child; this is all my fault. What should Zhao Yuning do now She will suffer greatly without her child."
"Xueru, what are you saying" Tang Shuwen grabbed Chen Xueru's shoulders firmly and said sternly, "All of this has nothing to do with you; why take the blame upon yourself Didn't you say that all the pain you've endured was given by me It’s my fault."
"It isn’t like that," Chen Xueru covered her face, tears falling through her fingers. She felt immense sorrow; she didn’t want to hurt anyone at all and did not wish Zhao Yuning's child dead either, which would be unfair to Zhao Yuning.
She had never blamed Zhao Yuning, although once she had wanted to潑小念 (pour water on Xiaonian), from Zhao Yuning’s perspective, indeed their appearance disrupted her happiness.
Now, because of her and their son, Tang Shuwen wants to terminate her pregnancy. How can she bear that
She has already caused Zhao Yuning a lot of pain; how could she let her lose the child as well She wouldn't feel at ease if she did.
She couldn't do such a thing.
Tang Shuwen held her tightly, "Don't worry about this matter. Leave it to me and don't think about anything. Just stay by my side. Do you understand"
The urgency and sternness in his voice at the end made Xueru Chen's tears fall like rain; she was uneasy.
"Tang Shuwen, don’t make such a cruel decision. Otherwise, you will regret it," Xueru Chen softly said. She was already suffering greatly, and she feared that one day he would regret this action and blame her and Xiaoni for making him not want his child with Zhao Yuning because of their presence.
She understood that Tang Shuwen wanted to protect the family, so he made such a cruel decision. When she just heard him telling Xiao Liu not to hurt Zhao Yuning, she realized that he only wanted to terminate the pregnancy but didn’t want anything bad to happen to Zhao Yuning, indicating that there was still some feeling for her. That’s why he was so anxious.
Therefore, he must also love this child.
After all, it was a child conceived by a woman he loved. But now he decided to terminate the pregnancy with such resolve; she could understand how painful and agonizing this would be for him.
Might he not feel regretful at first because everything seems perfect now But as time goes on, will he come to resent their presence as a mother and child, thinking they took away what was originally his
She couldn’t bear Tang Shuwen's resentment or the loss of a life.
"Xueru..."
"Don't let her take the child away, Shuwen, don't do this, it's really cruel," Chen Xueru pleaded with him. "The child is truly innocent; since Zhao Yuning left, it means she wants to keep the baby. Let's have it then. You have no right to decide a child's fate, and I don't want you to kill someone because of us—especially not your own child. I would feel guilty for life."
Tang Shuwen frowned as he looked at Chen Xueru; did she know what she was saying
Was she really so magnanimous and unconcerned about it
Or perhaps, she simply didn't love him, and thus wouldn't mind the child either. Otherwise, she would understand how big an impact this would have on their family—Xueru...
For some reason, a bit of anger welled up in his heart.
"This is an undeveloped fetus; do you know that it wouldn't be suitable to bring it into the world I won't acknowledge him or feel affection for him. The Zhao family would use him as leverage against me, and Yuning might not treat him kindly either. Why should he endure such a painful life It's best for him if we terminate this pregnancy now. Xueru, do you understand" Tang Shuwen said solemnly, having thought more deeply and comprehensively about it. There was no way to keep the child; an unloved baby would suffer greatly in this world.
"How can you say there won't be love for him Parents always love their children, regardless of who they are," Chen Xueru argued.
On this issue, Tang Shuwen and Chen Xueru each had different views. It was not a good time to discuss it in the middle of the night; Tang Shuwen held her shoulders firmly and said solemnly, "Be sensible now. Let's drop this topic for tonight. It's late, go take a bath and rest."
Chen Xueru spoke through her tears, "Shuwen, please don't make such a cruel decision; think about Xiao Nian. I'm afraid that everything will come back to haunt him; can you consider his well-being"
Tang Shuwen pursed his lips and said, "I'll give this matter serious thought. You should go take your bath and rest."
Chen Xueru cast a glance at him before gritting her teeth and went to bathe.
After playing all day and going through such折騰, she was indeed quite tired.
But she wasn't sleepy at all. After taking a shower, she sat blankly on the balcony. The lights below were dazzling, and the night view of Paris was magnificent, like a fairyland. However, her mood was extremely heavy.
Cooling down to think about what Tang Shuwen had said, there was indeed some truth in it. It wasn't just that no one would love this child once he or she is born; if the child were exposed as an illegitimate offspring of the Tang family, both the Tang and Zhao families being influential households in City A, people's gossip would definitely be endless.
Then Tang Shuwen might end up with a reputation for being heartless and indifferent, which wouldn't bode well for the Tang family either. Who knew how much of an impact having a child would have on both families
She wasn't even sure if she could be completely without reservations about this child.
Chen Xueru bitterly smiled; sometimes, she wasn't as broad-minded and carefree as she imagined herself to be.
Surely, it would be hard for her to face the child, yet she might have no choice but to deal with this situation for life.
She probably wouldn't feel too good about any of this.
And how could she explain to Xiaonian in the future that he had a brother or sister who didn't live together
The moment the child was born, many tragedies would begin. Unless they divorced and she took Xiaonian to live in America while he married Zhao Yuning and cared for the child, everything could return to normal.
But honestly asking herself, could she ever be the Chen Xueru of before againas a bundle of energy. The family played in the amusement park for three hours and initially planned to take Aunt Wen out for dinner later that afternoon but then Wan’er received Chen Anya’s call, req...
